Memory Map Sections
.reset section, containing the code that will be placed by the linker at the reset vector. This is
normally filled with a default handler (_reset()).
.reset
0xbfc00000
0x10 C:/.../pic32mx/lib/crt0.o
0xbfc00000
_reset

.vector_x sections, there are 64 of them each associated to the corresponding interrupt handler.
They will be empty unless your program is using the specific interrupt handler.
.vector_0
0x9fc01200
0x0

.startup section, where the C0 initialization code is placed.
.startup
0x9fc00490
0x1e0 C:/.../lib/crt0.o

.text sections, you will find many of them, where all the code generated by the MPLAB C32 compiler
from your source files is placed. Here is the specific part produced by our main() function:
.text
0x9d000018
0x40 Strings.o
0x9d000018
main

.rodata section, where read only (constant) data is placed in program memory space. Here we can
find space for our constant string “a” for example:
.rodata
0x9d000738
0x20 Strings.o
0x9d000738
a

.data section, where RAM memory is allocated for global variables.
.data
0xa0000000
0x64 Strings.o
0xa0000000
b

.data1 section, where the initialization value, ready for the C0 code to load into the “b” variable is
placed, once more, in program memory space.
*(.data1)
0x9d00076c
_data_image_begin=LOADADDR(data)
